created,  in  dreams  aiid  reveries.     We  can  aecus 

to  almoot  anything,  and  it  was  not  long  before  our  captive 

contemplated  the  dead  bodiee  with  which  he  was  surrounded* 

with  about  the  same  indifference  as  he  did  the  walls  of  tht 

temple  that  encompassed  them. 

How  long  after  Ortia  had  been  placed  to  guard  tha  templa 
of  saeriflces  the  following  foarf^l  midnight  adventure  hap> 
pened,  we  have  no  means  of  slating  with  certamty,  nor  ia  H 
very  material ;  it  is,  however,  accord{n|r  to  his  ow«  account,  aa 
follows  t  A  younff  Indian  had  been  killed  and  his  body  piaead 
in  this  temple.  Late  nna  night,  Ortii  found  it  closely  inveetad 
by  wolves,  which,  in  spite  nr  all  hia  eflbrts,  entered  tha  plaaa, 
and  carried  away  the  body  of  tha  Indian.  Tha  fHght  and  tht 
darknesa  ware  so  heavy  upon  Ortii  that  he  knew  not  that  iht 
body  was  missinff  until  morning.  It  araaars,  howavar,  t'dit  ha 
recovered  himself,  sailed  a  heavy  cudaal,  whieh  ha  had  pra> 
pared  at  hand,  and  commenced  a  ganafai  attack  upon  tho  hsaaH 
tn  tha  temple,  and  not  only  drove  them  aut,  but  parauod  tha« 
a  good  way  from  tho  pkuso.  In  tho  parmiit  ha  cama  «p  wkh 
ana  which  ha  cava  a  mortal  Mow,  althaugh  ho  did  aat  kWw  k 
al  tha  time.  Having  returned  dram  thia  haaatdoua  advaMMi 
to  tho  temple,  he  impatiently  awaited  tha  ratan  af  daylighl. 
Whan  tha  day  dawned,  great  waa  hia  distraaa  at  tha  dlaae^iy 
of  tho  loas  of  the  bodv  of  tha  dead  Indian,  which  waa  aapacially 
aggravaiad,  bacaaaa  It  waa  tha  aon  of  a  great  chief. 

Whan  tha  nawa  of  thia  aflhir  came  to  tho  ears  of  Uaila,  ha 
at  once  resolved  to  have  Ortii  put  to  death  t  but  bafata  awwH

larmandad  tha  ardor  for  his  aiaeatioa. 

Three  long  yeara  wnj  Ortii  doomed  ta  watch  thia  wralchad

only  by  tha  overthrow  of  tha  power  of  Udta.  Thia  waa  d»

than  left  him  with  direction!  how  to  proceed  to  the  reaidenca 
of  Bfocoao.  Having  travelled  all  night  as  fast  as  he  could, 
Ortii  found  himaelf  neit  morning  upon  the  borders  of  the  rirer 
which  bounded  the  territories  of  the  two  rival  chiefs.  He  waa

and  die.  And  with  much  ado  I  got  him  to  a  fire,  and  went 
myself  home.  As  soon  as  I  was  got  home,  his  master's  daagh* 
tor  came  after  mf,  to  know  what  I  had  done  with  the  English* 
man  ;  I  told  her  I  had  got  him  to  a  Are  in  such  a  place,  now 
had  I  need  to  prav  Paul's  prayer,  9  Thess.  3 :  b^— "  that  wt

but  before  I  got  home  again,  it  was  noised  about  that  I  was 
running  away,  and  getting  the  English  youth  along  with  me  i 
that  as  soon  as  I  came  in,  they  began  to  rant  and  domineeft 
asking  me  where  I  had  been,  and  what  I  had  been  doing,  and 
anying  they  would  knock  me  on  the  hewL  I  told  them  I  had 
been  seeing  the  English  youth,  and  that  i  would  not  run  away. 
They  told  me  I  lied,  and  getting  up  a  hatchet,  they  enme  M 
me  and  said  ther  would  knock  me  down  if  I  atirred  out  again ; 
and  so  confined  me  to  the  wigwam.  Now  may  I  any  wkh

the  neit ;  and  then  the  Lord  remembered  me,  whoeo  — icleg 
are  great.  Than  came  an  Indian  to  me  with  a  pair  of  oloeli> 
Inge  which  were  too  big  for  him,  and  he  would  have  aw 
ravel  them  out,  and  knit  them  fit  for  him.  I  ahowed  nyadf

him  a  little  way.  Sh<»  oaid  yes,  I  might ;  but  I  was  not  a  littla 
refreshed  with  that  news,  that  I  had  my  liberty  again.  Than 
I  went  along  with  him.  and  he  gave  me  aomo  roaaled  g!W«a4>

At  night  we  came  to  an  Indian  town,  and  the  Indii 
■at  down  by  h  wigwam  discoiininf;.  but  I  was  almost  spent 
and  could  scarce  Mpeak.  I  laid  down  my  toad  and  wrnt  into 
the  wii^am.  and  thifre  Ml  an  Indian  boiling  of  horse*fe«t, 
they  bemg  wont  to  eat  (he  Aeah  Ant,  and  when  the  feet  were 
old  and  dried,  and  they  had  nothing  else,  they  would  cut  olT 
the  feet  and  use  them.  1  asked  him  to  give  me  a  little  of  hia 
broth,  or  water  thev  were  boiling  it  in.     He  took  a  dish  and 

Kve  me  one  spooniul  of  samp,  and  bid  me  take  as  mueh  of 
I  broth  as  I  would.  .  Then  I  put  some  of  the  hot  water  to 
the  samp,  and  drank  it  up,  and  my  spirits  came  again.    Ha 


gave  me  also  a  piece  of  the  rufle,  or  ridding  of  the  small  cuts, 

may  say  with  Jom

along  we  went  {  but  a  wearisome  day  I  had  of  It.  Am  wa 
went  along.  I  saw  an  Englishman  stripped  naked  and  lying 
dead  upon  the  ground,  but  knew  not  who  he  was.  Then  wt 
came  to  another  Indian  town,  where  we  staid  all  night.  la 
this  town  there  were  four  English  children  captives,  and  ana 
of  them  my  own  siMer's.  I  went  to  see  how  aha  did,  and  sIm 
was  well,  considering  her  captive  condition.  I  would  hava 
tarried  that  night  with  her.  but  they  that  owned  her  wouhl  not 
suflbr  it.  Then  I  went  to  another  wigwam,  where  they  wan 
boiling  com  and  beans,  which  was  a  lovely  sight  to  see,  bat  I 
cmiU  not  gat  a  taste  thereof.  Then  I  went  into  another  a^ 
warn,  where  there  wers  two  of  the  English  children.  TS§ 
sqnaw  was  boiling  horses'  feet.  She  cat  me  ofl*  a  litiJa  jriaea, 
and  gave  one  of  the  English  chiUren  a  piece  also.  Baia* 
vary  hangry,  I  had  quiokfy  eat  up  mine ;  but  the  child  coaM 
not  bita  it.  It  was  ao  tough  and  ainewy,  and  Uy  socking,  naw-

being  by  ll  raiaed  in  my  hopea  that  in  aofPa  due  time  ihara 
wouhl  ba  an  end  of  ihia  aorrowrul  hour.  Then  came  an  Indian

Than  cama  Tom  and  Peter  with  the  aaeond  teller  from  tka

tham  by  tha  hand,  and  buret  out  into  ^ara  i  my  heart  waa  m 
full  that  I  could  no*  apeak  to  ihem  j  but  recovering  myaaU;  ] 
aakad  tham  how  my  huaband  did,  and  all  my  frienda  and

Tbay  brought  ma  two  btacuita  and  a  pound  of  tobacco.    Tm 
tobacco  I  aoon  gave  away.    Whan  it  waa  all  gone  ona  aakad 
oio  to  givo  him  a  pipe  of  tobacco.    I  told  him  it  waa  all  gono. 
Thon  ha  bogwi  to  rant  and  threaten.    I  told  him  whan  ay 
huaband  cama  I  would  give  him  aome.    "  Hang  him,  rogua,** 
■oya  ha  i  "  I  will  knock  out  hia  braina  if  ha  comae  hare."   And

Ttiero  I  mot  with  my  brother  and  brotlior>in<law,*  who  asked 
ma  if  I  know  where  nio  wife  was.  Poor  heart !  he  had  helped 
to  bury  hor,  and  knew  it  not.  She,  being  shot  down  by  the 
house,  was  partly  burnt ;  so  that  those  who  were  at  Boston  at 
tho  desolation  or  tho  town  eamo  back  afterward  and  buried  tho 
dead,  but  did  not  know  her.  Yet  I  was  not  without  sorrow, 
to  think  how  many  were  looking  and  lonving,  and  my  own 
ekildron  among  the  rest,  to  enjoy  that  delireranco  that  I  had 
now  roooired  {  and  I  did  not  Lnow  whether  over  I  should  mo

Being  roeruitod  with  food  and  raiment,  wo  wont  to  Boston

of  our  ooar  children,  one  being  dead,  and  the  other  wo  eonU 
not  toU  whore,  abated  our  comfort  in  each  othor.  I  was  not

but  now  as  much  with  pitiful,  t«nder«hearted,  and  compaMion* 
at*  Christians.  In  that  poor  and  beggarly  condition,  I  was 
roooired  in,  I  was  kindly  entertained  in  seteral  houses.  80 
much  lore  I  received  from  several,  (many  of  whom  I  know 
MNi)  that  I  am  not  capable  to  doehiro  it.  But  tlM  Lord  knowi

out  working  in  mv  thought*,  whole  nighie  together ;  but  now 
it  ie  otherwiae  with  me.  When  all  are  feat  about  me,  and  no 
eye  open,  but  Hie  who  ever  awaketh,  my  thoughta  are  upon 
Ihinga  paat,  upon  the  awful  diepenaaiiona  of  the  Lord  towarda 
ui,  upon  hia  wonderful  power  and  might  in  carrying  of  ua 
through  M  many  difHculiiee,  in  returning  ua  in  safety,  and 
■uflering  none  to  hurt  ua.  I  remember  in  the  night  seaaon 
how  the  other  day  I  waa  in  the  midat  of  thouaanda  of  enemiee, 
and  nothing  but  death  before  me.  It  waa  then  hard  work  to  per- 
auade  myaeif  that  ever  I  ahould  be  aatiaAed  with  bread  again. 
But  now  we  are  fed  with  the  fineat  of  the  wheat,  and,  as  I 
may  say,  with  htntyoul  of  th*  roek.  Instead  of  the  kuih  wo 
have  theybl  m(^  The  thoughts  of  these  things  in  the  partic- 
ulars of  them,  and  of  the  love  and  goodness  of  Ood  towanb 
us,  make  it  true  of  me,  what  David  said  of  himself,  Psal.  6: 6, 
— *'  /  NMler  nqf  ee««A  wilA  my  Itmn."  O  the  wonderful  power 
of  Ood  that  mine  eyee  have  seen,  aflbrdiog  matter  enoagk 
for  my  thoughts  to  run  in,  that  when  others  are  stooping  miM 
eyes  are  woepinff. 

I  have  seen  the  eitreroe  vanity  of  this  world.  One  hear  I 
have  boon  in  health,  and  wealth,  wanting  nothing,  bat  the  ntxt 
hour  in  sicknoee,  and  wounds,  and  death,  havin*  nothing  b«t 
sorrow  and  affliction.  Before  I  knew  what  affliction  meant  I 
was  ready  sometimes  to  wish  for  it.  When  I  lived  in  prot> 
perily,  having  the  comforts  of  this  world  abbJt  me.  ny  lok- 
tione  bjr  me,  and  my  heart  cheorAil,  and  taking  littU  car*  fer 
any  thing,  and  yet  seeing  manv,  whom  I  preferred  befbre  mjr- 
self,  under  many  triala  and  affliotkNis,  in  sickness. 


povertT,  lossoe,  crosses,  and  cares  of  tbo  world,  I  shouU  bo 
somotimee  Jealous  lest  I  should  have  my  portion  in  this  lllb. 
But  now  I  see  the  Lord  had  his  time  to  acourn  and  chastoa 
mo.  The  poitkm  of  some  is  to  have  thoir  affliction  by  dropik 
but  tho  wimtf  utoitiakmtnt,  like  a  iWMftnp  rmht  tAnt  Umtti 
mjktd,  dM  too  Lord  prepare  to  bo  my  pc  rtion.  Afflirtion  I 
wnntod,  and  afllelion  I  had.  Mi  measure,  pressed  down  and 
runninff  over.  Yet  I  too  when  Ood  enlia  persons  to  noror  m

One*.  IwinfT  tiwiii  with  iravtUiiiff  «U  dty,  and  lying  down 
wtl  tnd  txhauitad  at  nighl,  ib*  fell  into  ao  profound  •  ilMp 
that  in  tho  morning  iho  wakod  not.  H«r  barbaroua  caotori 
docamped  from  th«  place  of  thair  nighl'a  r«at,  leaving  ikbiuttla 
captive  girl  aileop  and  covered  witn  a  iinow  tbat  in  the  nighl 
haid  fallen  i  but,  at  length  awaking,  what  agonies  may  you 
imagine  ahe  wai  in,  on  nnding  heraelf  left  a  prey  for  bear*  and 
wolvee,  and  without  any  tuetenance,  in  a  howling  wildernete, 
many  acorea  of  leaguei  from  any  plantation  i  In  this  diamal 
ailttation,  however,  she  had  fortitude  aufllcient  to  attempt  to 
follow  them.  And  here  again,  the  enow  which  had  been  her 
covering  upon  the  cold  ground,  to  her  great  diacomforl,  was 
now  her  only  hope,  for  slie  could  juat  dltcem  by  it  the  trace 
of  tho  Indiana !  How  long  it  waa  before  she  overtook  them 
k  not  told  us,  but  she  joined  them  and  continued  her  captivity. 

Now  the  younff  Indians  began  to  tenify  her  by  constantly 
funindiog  her  tnat  she  waa  shortly  to  be  roasted  to  death. 
Om  oromng  much  fuel  was  prepareo  between  two  kws,  which 
they  told  her  waa  for  her  torture.  A  miriity  fire  being  made, 
b«r  maater  called  her  to  him,  and  told  oer  that  she  should

I  Into  tears ;  and  then  she  hung  about  her  tiger  of  a  master, 
bagging  of  him,  with  an  inexpressible  anguiaL,  lo  saT*  her

At  last  they  arrived  at  Canada,  and  she  waa  carried  into

it  waa  the  daet^,  as  was  said,  for  to  have  brought  her  up  in 
the  Romish  religion,  and  then  to  have  married  nw  unto  the 
eon  of  the  Lord  Intendani. 

She  was  kindly  used  there  until  Sir  WilUain  Phipo,  lying 
before  Quebec,  did,  upon  exchange  of  prisonere,  obtain  her  li»

OARRIflON  IN  DOVKR,  AS  COMMUNICATED  TO  DOCTOR  COT- 
TON MATHER,  BY  THE  REV.  JOHN  PIKE,  MINISTER  or  THE 
PLACE. 

Mas.  Eliiauth  Hia*i>  waa  a  widow  of  ffood  eatatOia  mother 
of  many  children,  and  a  daughter  of  Mr.  Hull,  a  reverend 
miniater  formerlv  livinc  at  Pkacataqua,  but  at  thia  time  lived 
at  Quoehecho,  tne  Indian  name  of  Dover.  Happening  lo  be 
at  Portamouth  on  the  dav  before  Quocheoho  waa  cut  olr,  aha 
ratumed  thither  in  the  njghl  with  one  daughter  and  three  aona, 
all  maaters  of  familiea.  When  they  came  near  Quoehecho 
tbay  were  aatoniahed  with  a  prodigioua  noiae  of  Indiiuia,  howl* 
lag,  ahooting,  ahouting,  and  roaring,  according  to  their  manner 
in  making  an  aaaault. 

Their  diatreea  for  their  familiea  carried  them  still  further 
up  the  river,  till  they  aeeretly  and  ailentlv  paaaed  by  aoma 
nombara  of  the  raging  tavams.  They  lenoed  about  an  bua- 
drad  rods  from  Mi^or  WaJdron's  garriaon,  and  running  up 
tha  hill,  they  aaw  many  lights  in  the  windows  of  the  garnson, 
whieh  they  eoBcluded  the  English  within  had  set  up  lot  tha 
diraetion  «f  ihooa  who  might  seek  a  refuge  there.  Coining 
to  the  gate,  they  desired  entrance,  which  not  being  readily 
grantadi  thay  eallad  aMneatly,  bounoed,  knocked,  and  cried 
out  to  thoae  within  of  thair  uakindness,  that  they  would  not 
open  tha  gala  l»  them  in  thia  axtremity. 

No  auwar  bainsf  vat  made,  they  bsgan  to  doubt  whether  all 
wasweu.  Oaaoitka  youag  man  then  climbing  up  the  wall, 
saw  a  horrible  tawny  in  thaantry,  with  a  gun  iahia  hand.  A

down  plentifully  on  tho  chevka  of  a  Frenchman  who  sat  behind,

severe  that  ever  I  mot  with  in  the  whole  sii  years  that  I  waa 
a  captive  with  *he  Indians. 

After  they  had  thus  inhumanly  nbuMd  us,  two  Indians  tadk 
us  up  and  threw  ua  out  of  the  w'igwam,  and  we  crawled  away 
on  our  hands  and  feet,  and  were  scarce  able  to  walk  foe  savaml 
days.  Some  time  after  they  again  concluded  on  a  laanrjr 
dance,  when  I  was  at  some  dislanco  from  the  wigwam  draaaiaa 
leather,  and  an  Indian  was  so  kind  as  to  tell  me  that  thay  hM

thoy  will  nang  on  thorn  till  they  hnve  gnawed  the  main  nerva 
in  thtir  neck  aaunderi  which  caiiira  their  death.  I  havt 
known  many  mooae  killed  thua.  I  waa  once  iraTelling  a  litlU 
way  behind  aeveral  Indiana,  and  hearing  them  laugh  merrily, 
when  I  eam«  up  I  naked  them  the  caune  of  their  laughter^ 
They  ahowed  mo  the  track  of  a  mooao,  and  how  a  wolverene 
had  climbed  a  tree,  ond  where  he  hod  jumped  ofT  upon  a 
mooae.  It  ao  happened,  that  af^er  the  mooae  had  taken  a«T«> 
ral  large  leap*,  it  came  under  the  branch  of  a  tree,  which  atrik* 
ing  the  wolverene,  broke  hia  hold  and  tore  him  ofT;  and  by 
hie  traeka  in  the  anew  it  appeared  he  went  off*  another  way, 
with  abort  atepa,  aa  if  he  had  been  alunned  by  the  Mow  that 
had  broken  hia  hold.  The  Indiana  impute'',  the  accident  to 
tht  cunning  of  the  mooae,  and  were  wonderfully  pleaaed  that 
it  had  thua  outwitted  the  miachievoua  wolverene. 

Theae  wolverenoa  go  into  wig\vama  which  hava  bttn  Mi' 
for  a  time,  acatter  th«  things  abroad,  and  mo^t  filthily  polliM 
tharo  with  ordure.  I  have  heard  the  Indiana  aav  that  Ihia  aai> 
mal  has  sometimes  pulled  their  guns  from  unoisr  their  heaAl 
while  tk  nr  were  asleep,  and  left  them  so  dofiled.  An  Indiaa 
told  me  tnat  having  left  his  wigwam  with  sundry  ihinga  tm 
the  seaflbld,  among  which  was  a  birchen  flask  containing  aerek 
rel  pounds  of  Bowder,  he  found  at  his  reium,  much  te  tiis  aai» 
prise  and  griei,  that  a  wolverene  had  visited  it,  mounted  tM 
scafTold,  hove  down  bav  and  baggage.  The  powder  flask  hap> 
pening  to  fall  into  the  fire,  eiplmled,  blowing  up  the  wolverene, 
and  aealtering  the  wigwam  in  all  directions.  At  length  he 
found  the  creature,  blind  from  the  blast,  wandering  baekwaid 
and  forward,  and  he  had  the  satisfaction  of  kicking  and  beal> 
ibg  him  about !  Thia  in  a  great  measure  made  ap  their  loaa^ 
and  then  they  oouM  contentedly  pick  up  their  ntensila  and  rif 
out  their  wigwam.

Aft«r  my  rtiurc  out  of  captiTity,  Jum  88(h,  1696, 1  applitd 
myMlf  to  lh«  govtrniiMnt  lor  their  favor.  Soon  after  1  wh 
•mployed  by  old  father  Mitchel,  of  Maiden,  to  go  ai  hli  inter* 
preter  on  trading  account  to  St.  John'i  river. 

October  14th,  lOMi  1  wae  employed  by  the  aovemment, 
Lieutenant  Governor  Stoughton  comniander-in*chTef,  to  go  aa 
interpreter,  at  th^  e  pounda  per  month,  with  Major  CotiverM 
and  old  Capt.  Atden  to  Penobscot  to  fetch  captivei.  At  our 
return  to  Boeton  I  wai  diimUted  (  but  within  a  few  days  the 
governor  Mnt  for  me  to  interpret  a  conference  with  Bomma* 
Men,  and  other  Indians  then  in  jail. 

Some  time  after  I  was  again  put  in  pav  in  order  to  go  inter- 
preter with  Col.  Phillips  and  Capt.  Soutnack,  in  the  province 
galley,  to  Casco  bay,  to  exchange  said  Indians  [Bomnuuoen 
and  others]  for  English  captives.  In  December,  1696,  we 
returned  to  Boston  with  several  captives  which  we  had  libe* 
ratad,  and  I  was  dismissed  the  service,  and  desired  to  attend  it 
in  the  spring.  I  pleaded  to  be  kept  in  pay  'hat  I  might  hava 
wherewith  to  support  myself  at  school.  I  went  into  the  coun* 
try.  to  Rowley,  where  boarding  was  cheap,  to  practise  what 
little  I  had  attained  at  school. 

March,  1699.  With  the  little  of  my  wages  that  I  could 
fMenret  I  paid  for  my  schooling  and  board,  uid  attended  the 
itrvice  vpon  request,  and  was  again  put  into  pay,  and  went 
with  Col.  Phillips  and  Maj.  Converse  in  a  Urge  bnflantino  up 
Kennebock  river  for  captivee,  and  at  our  return  to  Boston  the 
wovinee  gallev  being  arrived  from  New  York  with  my  lord 
Bf llemont,  ana  the  province  truck  put  on  board,  I  wai  ordered 
on  board  tho  galley.  We  cniised  on  the  aastem  shore ;  and 
in  November,  1699, 1  was  put  out  of  m^^thoagh  I  pleaded  to 
be  continued  in  it,  seeing  I  must  attaid  the  service  in  the 
tprinff,  and  be  at  considerable  expense  in  the  winter  for  my 
schooling. 

In  the  spring  of  1700, 1  attended  the  service,  and  was  uador 

y  again.    On  August  97th,  a  fort  was  ordered  to  be  built  at 

loaeo  bay,  which  was  finished  on  the  6th  of  October  foUowiog, 
and  the  province  truck  landed,  and  I  was  ordered  to  rosMo 
thare  as  interpreter,  with  a  captain,  kc.  Not  long  oAatt  Oor.

them  that  could  ■peak  EnKliah  threalfned  mi)  in  return,  "that 
if  I  did  not  come  out  they  would  bum  me  alive,"  adding,  how^ 
ever,  "  that  if  I  would  come  out  and  surrender  myself  prisone? 
they  would  not  kill  me,"  In  such  drplorable  circumstances,  I 
chose  to  rely  on  their  promises,  rather  than  meet  death  by 
rejecting  them ;  and  accordingly  went  out  of  the  house,  wita 
my  gun  in  my  hand,  not  knowing  that  1  had  it.  Immediately 
on  my  approach  they  rushed  on  me  like  tigers,  and  insUntlj 
disarmed  me.  Having  me  thus  in  their  power,  they  bound  ma 
to  a  tree,  went  into  the  house,  plundered  it  of  every  thing  they 
could  carry  oflT,  and  then  set  fire  to  it,  and  consumed  what  waa 
left  before  mv  eyes.  Not  satisfied  with  this,  they  set  fire  to 
my  bam,  stable,  and  out-houses,  wherein  were  about  two  hun- 
dred bushels  of  wheat,  six  cows,  four  horses,  and  five  sheep,  all 
which  were  consumed  to  ashee. 

Having  thus  finished  the  execrable  busineee  about  whiek 
they  came,  one  of  the  monsters  came  to  me  with  a  tomahaark 
and  threatened  me  with  the  worst  of  deaths  if  I  would  net  ga 
with  them.    This  I  agreed  to,  and  then  they  untied  me,  aad 

Rn*  7*i.^  '*^  ^  ^"7'  **"<'*<^  "^^^^  '  travelled  all  that  nifkt, 
U  of  the  moot  terrible  apprehensions,  lest  my  unhapaywUb 
dbould  likowiee  have  fallen  into  their  cruel  power.  At  daaapr 
break  my  infernal  masters  ordered  roe  to  ky  down  my  laadT 
when,  tying  my  hands  again  round  a  tree,  they  forced  the  Uood 
out  at  mv  fingers'  ends.  And  then  kindling  a  fira  near  tha 
tree  to  which  1  was  bound,  the  meet  dreadful  agonies  eeiaed 
me,  concluding  I  was  jjfoing  to  be  made  a  sacrifice  to  their 
barbarity.  Tha  fire  being  made,  they  for  soma  time  danced 
round  me  after  their  manner,  whooping,  hollowing  and  ahriok* 
in^  in  a  frij^tful  manner.  Being  satisfied  with  this  eort  of 
nirth,  they  proceeded  in  another  manner :  taking  the  baminf 
eoals.  and  sticks  flaming  with  fire  at  the  ends,  holding  th«a  ta 
my  bea,  head,  hands,  and  feet,  and  at  the  same  tbna  threaten* 
lag  to  bum  ma  entirely  if  I  cried  out.  Thus  tortnrad  as  I  waa, 
almoet  to  death,  I  suffered  their  bratalitiee,  without  beiiTg  at* 
towed  to  vent  ray  anguish  otherwise  than  by  shedding  silent 
tears;  and  thaea  being  obeerved,  they  took  freeh  eaala  aad 
applaad  them  near  my  eyes,  telling  me  my  face  was  wet,  and 
uat  thay  would  dry  it  for  me,  which  indeed  they  craally  did. 
How  I  nnderwaat  ttieea  tortures  has  been  matter  of  wonder  ta 
BM,  hat  Ood  enabled  me  to  wait  with  mora  than  conunoa 
patianea  for  tha  delivaranoe  I  daily  prayed  for.

uA  ktop  out  of  ib«  rMch  of  it  until  the  storm  abated.  We  ab- 
•eonded  accordingly,  but  so  it  happonod  that  I  returned  and  van* 
1>is  presence,  before  his  wife  had  presumed  to  come 
I  found  him  in  his  wigwam,  and  in  a  Mrly  mood ; 


tared  into  his 
■iffh  him. 

and  not  being  able  to  revenm  upon  his  wife,  because  'she  was 
B  H  at  home,  he  laid  hold  of  nie,  and  hurried  ma  to  the  fort, 
md,  for  a  trilling  conside  n,  eold  me  to  a  French  gentleman 
whoao  name  was  8aeca|^t.  Tie  an  ill  wind  ceitainly  that 
blows  nobody  any  good.  I  had  been  with  the  Indians  a  year 
lacking  fourteen  oays ;  and.  if  not  for  my  sister,  yet  for  mt, 
'twas  a  lileky  circumstance  indeed,  which  thus  at  last,  in  an 
mieipected  moment,  snatched  me  out  of  their  cruel  hands,  and 
placed  me  beyond  the  reach  of  their  insolent  powar. 

After  my  Indian  master  had  diapoeed  of  me  in  the  manner 
nialad  above,  and  the  moment  of  sober  reflection  had  arrived, 
perceiving  that  the  man  who  boocht  ma  had  taken  tha  advantage 
•f  him  in  an  nngnarded  hour,  hi*  rasontmento  began  to  kindw, 
•ttd  his  Indignation  reae  so  high,  that  he  thraalenod  to  kill  na 
If  ha  ahonld  meet  ma  alone,  or  if  ha  eoold  not  ravenge  himaelf 
dwa  that  he  would  set  fire  to  the  fort.  I  was  tharefora  aacratad 
In  an  upper  ehamUr,  and  the  fcrt  cartAilly  gnarded,  tintU  hia

Waa  now  advanced,  <nis  parnct  freedom  in  eomparMon  of  what 
It  had  been  amonff  tha  barbarous  Indiaus.  My  new  master 
And  mlstrass  were  both  as  kind  and  ganerMs  towards  me  aa  I 
aoald  anyways  expect.  I  seldom  asked  a  favor  of  either  of 
llMm  b«l  it  was  readily  granted ;  in  consequence  of  which  I 
Wd  it  In  my  power,  in  many  iirstancea,  to  administer  aid  and 
laflraohment  to  the  poor  prisoners  of  mr  own  nation,  who  were 
brooght  into  St.  Jonns  auring  mr  abooe  in  tha  lamily  of  tha

the  good  old  man  himself,  who  considered  me  aa  hIa  ptttpetty, 
and  likewise  a  warm  and  resolute  son  of  his,  at  that  same  dtta, 
and  under  the  same  roof,  became  both  azcaaeivaly  fond  o^  my

of  a  certain  English  gontloman.*  the  Governor  do  VaudreuU 
being  made  acauainled  with  the  condition  I  had  fallen  into, 
immediately  ordered  the  young  and  amorous  (taccapee,  then 
an  oflker  in  tho  French  army,  from  the  Aeld  of  Venus  to  tho 
field  of  Man,  and  at  tho  same  time  also  wrote  a  letter  to  hio 
(bthrr,  enjoining  it  upon  him  by  no  means  to  sufler  mo  to  ba 
abused,  but  to  make  my  situation  and  service  in  his  fiunily  ao 
easy  and  delightful  as  poeaiUo.  I  was  moreover  under  uih 
speakable  obligatione  to  the  governor  upon  another  account. 
I  had  receivea  intelligence  from  my  daughter  Mary,  the  pur* 
pert  of  which  was,  that  there  was  a  prospect  of  her  being 
shortly  manied  to  a  young  Indian  of  the  tribe  of  St.  Francoie, 
with  which  tribe  she  had  continued  from  the  beginning  of  her 
oapiivlty.  Those  were  heavy  tidings,  and  added  greatly  to 
the  pownaney  of  mv  other  aHUetions.  However,  not  fonf 
alter  I  Cad  hoard  this  melancholy  news,  an  opportunity  pro* 
seniod  of  acauainting  that  humane  and  generous  gantlemaa, 
tho  eommnndor*in'«hief,  and  mv  illustrious  benefactor,  with 
this  aflkir  also,  who,  in  comoasnon  ior  my  suffering*,  and  to 
mitigate  my  aorrows,  issued  nit  orders  in  good  time,  and  had 
my  daaghtor  taken  away  tnm  the  Indiana,  and  coarerad  to 
tho  same  nunnery  where  her  eisiar  was  then  lodged,  with  hia 
aimees  ii^unction  that  ikey  should  both  of  them  together  ha 
wall  lookeo  after,  and  carelully  educated,  as  his  adopted  chil> 
dran.  In  thb  school  of  suporatitioB  and  bimtry  they  contia* 
ued  white-  the  war  in  those  days  between  rranco  and  Gtaat 
Britain  lasted.  At  the  conclusion  of  which  war,  tho  governor 
went  homo  to  France,  took  my  eldeet  daughter  along  with  hia, 
and  marriod  har  then  to  a  French  gentleman,  whooe  name  b' 
Oron  Lewis.  He  was  at  Boston  with  tho  fleet  under  Comt

ieeiaianc«.  But  ao  eitremelv  bigoted  waa  ahe  to  the  cuatoma 
and  religion  of  the  place,  tnat,  after  all,  ahe  left  it  with  the 

Seateat  reluctance,  and  the  moat  bitter  lamentationa,  which 
e  cuntinued  aa  we  paaaed  the  atreeta,  and  wholly  refuacd  to 
be  comforted.  Mjr  good  friend.  Major  Small,  whom  we  met 
with  on  the  way,  tried  all  he  could  to  conaole  her ;  and  waa  ao 
very  kind  and  obliging  aa  to  bear  ua  company,  and  carry  my 
daughter  behind  hfm  on  horaeback. 
But  I  have  run  on  a  little  before  my  atory,  for  I  have  not 

Jet  informed  you  of  the  meana  and  manner  of  my  own  re* 
amption,  to  the  accompliahing  of  which,  the  recovery  of  my 
daughter  Juat  mentioned,  and  the  ranaoming  of  aome  of  my 
other  children,  aeveral  gentlemen  of  note  contributed  not  a 
little  i  to  whoae  goodneae  therefore  I  am  greatly  indebted,  and 
aincoroly  hope  I  ahall  never  be  ao  unffrateful  aa  to  forget  Col. 
Schuyler  inparticular  waa  ao  very  kind  and  generoua  aa  to 
advance  8700  livres  to  procure  a  fanaom  for  mvaelf  and  three 
of  my  children.  He  accompanied  and  conoucted  ua  from 
Montreal  to  Albany,  and  entertained  ua  in  the  moat  friendly 
and  hoadtable  manner  a  conaiderable  timoi  at  hia  qwn  houaoi 
and  T  believe  entirely  at  hia  own  expenae. 

I  have  nun  out  the  above  narrative  to  a  much  greater  length 
than  I  at  firat  intended,  and  ahall  conclude  it  with  referring 

{oa,  for  a  mora  ample  and  iriUiant  account  of  the  captive 
eroine  who  ia  the  aubject  of  it,  to  Col.  Humphrey'a  Hiatory 
of  the  Life  of  Gen.  larael  Putnam,  togelkv  with  aome  remarka 
upon  a  few  dauaea  in  it.  I  never  indeeohad  the  picaaure  of 
penieing  the  whole  of  aaid  hiatory,  bat  remember  to  have  aeea 
iomo  time  ago  an  extract  from  it  in  one  of  the  Boaton  newt* 
papera,  in  w^ich  the  colonel  hae  extolled  the  beauty  and  good 
■enae,  and  rare  accomplidimenta  of  Mra.  Howe,  the  peraon 
whom  be  endeavors  to  paint  in  the  moat  livelv  and  eilgaging 
colors,  perhapa  a  little  too  highly,  and  in  a  styia  that  may  an* 
poar  to  thoae  who  are  acquainted  with  her  to  thia  day  romantic 
and  extravagant.  And  the  colonel  muat  needa  have  been  mia* 
informed  with  reapect  to  aome  particulara  that  he  has  men- 
tioned in  her  hiatorv.  Indeed,  when  I  read  the  extract  from 
hia  hiatory  to  Mra.  Tute,  (which  name  she  has  derived  from  a 
diifd  huaoand,  whoae  widow  ahe  now  remaina,)  ahe  seened  to

said,  that  as  she  was  returning  from  Montreal  to  Albany,  sh« 
met  with  young  Saccapee  on  the  way  {  that  she  was  in  a 
boat  with  Colonel  Schuyler ;  that  the  French  officer  came  on 
board  the  boat,  made  her  some  handsome  presents,  took  his 
Anal  leave  of  her,  and  departed,  to  outward  appearance  in  tak- 
rable  good  humor. 

She  moreover  says,  that  when  she  went  to  Canada  for  her 
daughter,  she  met  with  him  again,  that  he  showed  her  a  lock 
of  her  hair,  and  her  name  likewise,  printed  with  vermillion  oa 
his  arm.  As  to  her  being  chosen  agent  to  go  to  Europe,  in 
behalf  of  the  people  of  Hinsdale,  when  Colonel  Howard  o^ 
tained  from  the  goTemment  of  New  I'ork  a  patent  of  their 
hinds  on  the  west  side  of  Connecticut  river,  it  was  never  one* 
thought  of  by  Hinsdale  people  until  the  above*mentiooed  •»• 
tract  arrived  among  them,  in  which  the  author  has  inserted  it 
as  a  matter  of  undoubted  fact.

noticing  the  child,  Fanny  immediately  caught  hold  of  tM

The  lady  could  not  eaailv  reaiet  this  appeal  to  her  compassion. 
She  took  up  the  child,  who  clung  about  her  neck  and  repeat-

captive,  but  she  declined  buying,  not  choosing  probably  in  tha 
abeence  of  her  husband  to  venture  on  such  a  purchase.  Th« 
Indians  left  the  house,  and  slept  that  night  on  the  pavementa 
before  the  door.  Fanny,  who  had  again  heard  the  voice  of 
kindoesa,  to  which  she  had  not  been  accustomed  (Vom  her  sav*

ihii  ntw  obiect,  endcavortd  to  mIm  him  •■  his  prey ;  but  lb« 
gvnlUinan  being  ilrong,  threw  him  on.lhe  ground,  ind  would 
probably  have  got  awavi  had  not  he  who  held  my  other  arm 
quilted  me  to  aaiiit  hie  brother.  I  icised  the  oppoitunity,  and 
haetened  away  to  Join  another  pariv  of  Engliih  troopi  that 
were  yet  unbroken,  and  ttood  in  a  body  at  tome  distance.  But 
before  I  had  taken  many  steps,  I  hastily  cast  my  eye  towards 
the  gentleman,  and  saw  the  Indian's  tomahawk  gash  into  his 
back,  and  heard  him  utter  his  last  groan.  This  added  both  to 
my  sp-jed  and  desperation. 

I  bad  left  this  snocking  scene  but  a  few  yards,  when  a  fine 
boy  about  twelve  years  oi  nge,  that  had  hitherto  escaped,  came 
up  to  me,  and  begged  that  1  would  let  hiro  lay  hold  of  me,  so 
that  he  might  stand  some  chance  of  setting  out  of  the  hands 
of  the  savages.  I  told  him  that  I  would  ^ve  him  every  assis- 
tance in  my  power,  and  to  this  purpose  bid  him  lay  hold ;  but 
in  a  few  momenta  he  was  torn  from  mv  side,  and  by  his  shrieks 
I  Judge  was  toon  demolished.  I  could  not  help  forgetting  mv 
own  cares  for  a  minute,  to  lament  the  fate  of  so  young  a  aui« 
ftrer ;  but  it  was  utterly  impoasible  for  me  to  take  any  methoda 
to  prevent  it. 

'  I  now  got  once  more  into  the  midst  of  (Viend  Sat  we  were 
anable  to  aflbrd  each  other  any  succor.  As  thia  was  the  divi- 
sion that  had  advanced  the  furthest  from  the  fort,  I  thought 
there  might  be  a  possibility  (though  but  a  bare  one)  of  my 
forcing  my  way  through  the  outer  ranks  of  the  Indians,  and 
getting  to  a  neig[hboring  wood,  which  I  perceived  at  some  dis- 
tance. I  was  still  encouraged  to  hope  by  the  almost  miraculous 
preservation  I  had  already  experienced. 

Nor  were  my  hopes  in  vain,  or  the  eflTorts  I  made  ineffectual. 
Suffice  to  say,  that  I  reached  the  wood ;  but  by  the  time  I  hhd 
penetrated  a  little  way  into  it,  my  breath  was  so  exhausted 
that  I  threw  myself  into  a  break,  and  lay  for  some  minuUsa 
apparently  at  the  last  gasp.  At  length  I  recovered  the  power 
or  respiration ;  but  my  anprebensiona  returned  with  all  tiieir 
former  force,  when  I  saw  several  savages  pass  by,  probably  in 
pursuit  of  me,  at  no  very  great  distance.  In  this  situation  I 
Knew  not  whether  it  was  better  to  proceed,  or  endeavor  to  con- 
oaal  myself  where  I  lay  till  night  came  on ;  fearing,  however, 
that  they  would  retu/n  the  same  way,  I  thought  it  most  prudent 
to  get  nirther  from  the  dreadful  scene  of  my  distresses.  Ac- 
cordingly, striking  into  another  part  of  the  wood,  I  hastened 
on  as  last  as  the  briera  and  the  lots  of  one  of  my  shoes  would 

Crroit  me ;  and  aftet-  a  slow  progress  of  some  hoars,  fained  a

\  could  diseem  that  the  bloody  storm  still  raged  with  anabat«4 
ftiry. 

But  not  to  tire  my  readers,  I  shall  only  add,  that  after  pM»« 
ing  three  days  without  subsistence,  and  enduring  the  severity 
of  the  cold  drws  for  three  nights,  t  at  length  reached  fort  Ed*  • 
ward;  where  with  proper  care  my  body  soon  recovered  it* 
wonted  strength,  and  my  mind,  as  far  an  thu  recollection  of  th« 
late  melancholy  events  would  permit,  its  UMual  composure. 

It  was  computed  that  fifteen  hundred  person*  were  killed  or 
made  prisoners  by  these  savages  during  this  fatal  day.  Manr 
of  the  latter  were  carried  off  oy  them  and  never  returned.  A 
few,  through  favorable  accidents,  found  their  way  back  to  their 
native  country,  af^r  having  experienced  a  long  and  severt 
captivity. 

The  brave  Col.  Monro  had  hastened  away,  soon  after  th« 
confusion  began,  to  the  French  camp,  to  endeavor  to  procure 
the  guard  agreed  by  the  stipulation ;  but  his  application  pror* 
ing  inefliK'tual,  he  remained  there  till  General  Webb  sent  % 

Birty  of  troops  to  demand  and  protect  him  back  to  fort  Edward, 
ut  these  unhappy  concurrences,  which  would  probably  havt 
been  prevented  ud  he  been  loft  to  pursue  his  own  plana, 
toMther  with  tho  lots  of  so  many  brave  fellows,  murdered  ia 
cold  blood,  to  whose  valor  he  had  been  so  lately  a  witnooa, 
made  such  an  impression  on  bis  mind  tluat  he  did  nrt  lone 
survive.  He  died  in  about  thrte  months  of  a  broken  heart,  ana 
with  truth  might  it  bo  said  that  ho  was  an  honor  to  his  coun- 
try. 

I  mean  not  to  point  out  the  following  cireumst^nce  as  th* 
immediate  judgment  of  heaven,  and  intended  as  an  atonement 
for  this  slaughter :  but  I  cannot  omit  that  very  few  of  thoe« 
different  tribes  of  Indians  that  shared  in  it  ever  lived  to  retvm 
home.  The  small-poz,  by  means  of  their  communication  with  ^ 
the  Europeans,  found  its  way  among  them,  and  made  an  eanal 
havoc  to  what  they  themselves  hod  done.  The  methods  tney 
pursued  on  the  first  attack  of  that  malignant  disorder,,  to  idiete 
the  fever  attending  it,  rendered  it  fatal  Whilst  their  blood 
was  in  %iatate  of  fermentation,  and  nature  was  striving  to  throiw 
out  the  peccant  matter,  they  checked  her  operations  oy  p]ung<> 
ing  into  the  wMr;  the  consequence  was  that  they  died  1^ 
hundreds.  ^  The  |»w  that  survived  were  transformed  by  it  into 
hideous  objects,  and  bore  with  them  to  the  grave  deep  mdented 
marks  of  Ous  much  dreaded  disease.  ^ 

Monaienr  Montcalm  fell  soon  after  on  the  pkiins  of  Quebec. 

That  the  unprovoked  cruelty  of  this  commander  was  not 
apprared  of  by  the  generality  of  his  countrrmen,  I  have  since 
Men  eooyinced  of  by  auiny  proofs.    One  only,  however,  which

what  added  to  mv  •urpriie,*!  aaw  number*  running  tirwnrds

ran  betwiit  iheae  ranka,  and  that  tiiey  would  flog  me  all  the

batter,  ««  tbey  would  quit  when  I  got  to  the  end  of  the  ranka. 
TiMr«  appeared  to  be  a  general  rejoicing  around  me,  yet  I 
could  find  nothing  like  joy  in  my  breaiat ;  but  I  atiurted  to  tha

■M  M  that  I  could  not  aee  where  to  run.  They  continued

Shortly  after  ihui,  on  the  9th  day  of  July,  17«fi,  in  tiM 
morning,  I  heard  a  great  atir  in  the  fort,  Aa  I  could  ihatt 
walk  with  a  ataf  in  my  hand,  I  went  out  of  the  door,  wdiidi 
wma  juat  by  the  wall  of  the  fort,  and  stood  upon  the  wall,  and 
viewed  the  Indians  in  a  huddle  before  the  gate,  whera  war* 
h«rr«!«  vif  powder,  bullets,  Uinta,  &c.,  and  every  one  takinf 
whaa  suited.  I  «»w  the  Indians  alao  march  ofTin  rank  eiHi^t 
likewise  the  French  Canadians,  and  some  regiikrs.  AfWff 
newinijf  the  Indiana  and  French  in  diflerent  poaitiona,  I  com- 
putsKl  thtm  tD  be  about  four  hundred,  and  wondered  that  tkay 
attempted  to  go  out  ag^tinst  Braddock  with  w>  small  a  futj. 
I  w»s  then  in  high  hopes  that  I  would  soi.n  see  th«m  fly  bafoM

I  ramained  utxioas  to  know  the  event  of  this  day ;  and,  in 
»•  aftamoon.  I  again  obaerved  a  great  noise  and  commotion 
inUia  fori,  and  though  at  that  time  I  rould  not  understand

which  WM  th*  ftllnl  crmtura  I  ever  raw  of  (h«  ttllow  kind. 

Wn  rtrntintd  tt  thU  camp  ahout  tight  or  ton  days,  and  kill* 
«d  a  numbor  of  daar.  Though  w«  had  naithar  bread  nor  rail 
at  this  linw).  y«t  wa  had  both  roaat  and  boilad  maat  in  ffraat 
planty,  and  tnay  ware  t^uantly  inviting  ma  to  aat  whan  I  had 
no  appatila. 

W«  than  movad  to  iha  bafTalo  lick,  whara  wa  killad  Mvaral 
buffalo,  and  in  thtir  amall  braaa  katilat  thay  mada  about  half  • 
bushal  of  ialt.'  I  auppota  thia  lick  was  about  thirty  or  forty 
milei  from  tha  aforeaaid  town,  ahd  lomawhara  batwaan  iha 
Muikingum,  Ohio,  and  Scioia.  About  tha  lick  was  elaar, 
opan  woods,  and  thin  whita  oak  land,  and  at  that  tima  there 
ware  iarga  roads  laading  to  tha  lick,  tika  wagon  roads.  Wa 
morad  from  this  lick  aMut  sii  or  savan  milas,  and  ancampad 
on  a  creak. 

Though  Iha  Indians  had  given  ma  a  gun,  I  had  not  yat  baan 
admiitaa  to  go  out  from  tha  camp  to  hunt.  At  this  plaea  Mo- 
hawk Solomon  askad  ma  to  go  out  with  him  to  hunt,  which  I 
raadily  agraad  lo.  Aftar  soma  time  wa  cama  upon  soma  flrash 
buffalo  tracks.  I  had  obaarvad  before  this  that  tha  Indiana 
ware  upon  thair  guard,  and  afreid  of  an  enemy ;  for,  until  now, 
thay  and  tha  southern  nations  had  been  at  war.  As  wa  wan 
following  tha  bulfiilo  tracks,  Solomon  seemed  to  be  upon  hia 
guard,  want  vary  slow,  and  would  frequently  stand  and  listan, 
and  appeared  to  be  in  suspense.  Wa  cama  to  where  tha  traoka 
ware  vary  pkin  in  the  sand,  and  I  said  it  ia  surelT  buftle 
tracks ;  ha  said,  htuk,  yoM  know  nothing,  NMy  it  tm§m  tmdtt^ 
ma^  ht  Catatate.  Ha  went  very  cautious  until  waToond  mnm 
fraah  buflUo  dung ;  ha  then  smiled,  and  said,  Cafoiel*  tmtnti 
makt  as.  Ha  than  stomied,  and  told  me  an  odd  atory  iMtt 
tha  Catawbaa.  Ha  said  that  formerly  tha  Catawbas  cama  near 
ona  of  thair  hunting  campa,  and  at  some  dlatanea  (Iratn  tha 
camp  lay  in  amboah ;  and  in  order  to  decoy  them  ont,  aant  twa 
or  tnraa  Catawbaa  in  tha  night  past  their  camp,  with  baAla 
hoofa  fiiad  on  thair  faat,  so  as  to  make  artifleial  tracks,  ^tf  tlia 
rooming,  thaoa  in  tha  camp  followed  aftar  thaaa  traeln,  thlnkiag 
thar  ware  buflUo,  until  tnay  were  firad  on  by  tha  OataaAaa, 
ana  savcial  of  tham  killed.  The  othen  iled,  collected  a  party 
and  purauad  tha  Oatawbaa ;  but  thav,  in  their  aabtihy.broagkt

net  being  aaeiited  by  any  of  hie  brothren,  was  obliged  to  deaiet. 
For  ihii  gracious  inlorposure  of  Providence,  in  preserving  me 
both  from  sin  and  danger,  1  deeiro  to  bless  Ood  while  I  live. 

Friday  morning  I  was  almost  perished  with  cold.  Saturday 
we  proceeded  on  our  way,  and  soon  came  in  sight  of  the  uppet 
part  of  the  inhabitants  of  Canada.  Here  I  was  in  great  hopeo 
of  some  r-^lief,  not  knowing  the  manner  of  the  Indians,  who 
do  not  make  many  stops  tmong  the  French  in  their  return 
ftom  war  till  they  get  home.  However,  whitn  they  came  nenr 
some  rapid  fallH  of  water,  one  of  my  fellow-prisoners  and  several 
Indians,  together  with  myself,  were  pat  on  shore  to  tmvel  by 
land,  which  pleased  me  well ;  it  bunff  much  warmer  running 
en  the  snow  than  to  lie  still  in  the  Datteau.  We  passed  t^ 
■everal  French  houses,  but  stopped  at  none ;  the  vessel  going 
down  a  rapid  stream,  it  reauifed  hasto  to  keep  pace  with  her, 
and  we  croeeed  over  a  point  of  land  and  found  the  battana 
waiting  for  us,  as  near  the  ahore  as  the  ire  woaM  permit 
Here  we  left  the  St.  Lawrence  and  turned  up  Cenaoiidaagn 
river,  bat  it  being  ftoaen  up,  we  hauled  our  bnttoau  on  shore, 
and  each  of  us  took  our  share  of  her  kiodkig  on  our  haeka,  and 
marched  towards  Oonasadaugo,  an  Indian  town,  which  waa 
ear  designed  port,  bat  could  not  reach  it  that  night  We  cmm 
to  a  French  house,  eold,  weary,  and  hungry*  Heie  my  oM 
friend,  the  wounded  Indian,  again  appeareo,  and  relatod  to  the 
Fronehman  the  aflhir  of  my  refusing  to  danee,  who  bnmedi- 
atoly  aaaisted  him  to  atrip  me  of  my  flannel  vest  which  wm 
mjr  nil.  New  they  were  resolved  to  compel  me  to  danee  and 
eing.  The  Frenchman  was  as  violent  as  the  Indian  in  pro* 
moling  thia  imposition ;  but  the  woman  belonging  to  the  house 
•eeiny  ;he  rough  usage  I  had,  took  pity  on  me  and  rescued  me 
oat  in  their  hanla,  UTl  their  heat  was  over,  and  prevailed  wilk 
the  Indian  to  excuse  me  from  daneiiw,  but  he  inaisled  thai  I 
muat  be  shaved,  and  (hen  he  would  Mt  me  alone.  (I  had  •! 
tlMt  time  a  long  beard,  which  the  Indians  hato.)  With  thia 
motion  I  reodilv  complied,  and  then  they  seemed  oontennid.

tht  pri«on«n  and  wkittt  ^nn  in  actual  poaMMion,  and  thay 
war*  without  tha  tataa. 

That  wkola  nigni,  or  tha  malar  |«rt  of  it,  wm  paaaad  in 
mutual  condolanca ;  and  my  7f  llowpriMnara  aharad  my  garrai. 
In  tha  morning.  Iwing  aoain  eallad  down,  I  found  my  maitar 
Wanniway,  and  waa  danirtd  to  follow  him.  Ha  lad  ma  to  a  tmall 
houM,  witnin  tha  fort,  whera,  in  a  narrow  room,  and  almoat 
dark,  i  found  Mr.Eiakial  Solomons,  an  Englishman  from  Dairoit, 
and  a  aoldiar,  all  priaonara.  With  thata,  I  ramainad  in  pain* 
ftti  auipanaa,  as  to  tha  scana  that  was  next  to  praaant  iiscli,  till 
Ian  o'clock  in  tha  foranoon,  whan  an  Indian  arrivad,  and  pras- 
tntlv  marehad  us  to  tha  laka*sida,  whara  a  canoa  appaarad 
laaify  for  doparlura,  and  in  which  wo  found  that  wa  wara  to 
•nhark. 

Oar  Toyagf ,  fVill  of  doubt  as  it  was,  would  hara  commancad 
immadiataly,  hut  that  ona  of  tha  Indians,  who  was  to  ba  of 
Um  party,  was  absanl.  His  arrival  was  to  ba  waitad  for  i  and 
this  occasionad  a  vary  long  dakiy,  during  which  wa  wara 
•ipeaad  to  a  kaan  nortn-aasl  wind.  An  old  shirt  was  all  ihai 
aomad  mas  I  •uflkrad  much  from  tha  cold{  and  in  this 
•Mromity,  M.  Lnngbula  coming  down  lo  iha  baaeb,  I  askad 
kim  for  a  blankai,  promising  if  I  livad  lo  pay  kim  for  it,  at  any 
prioa  ha  pleasad  {  but  tka  answar  I  racaivad  was  this,  that  hi 
eonid  lal  ma  kava  no  Uankat  unhna  tkara  wara  soimo  ona  to 
ka  aacnrity  for  tka  paymant.  For  mysalf,  ha  obaarvad,  I  had 
BO  longar  any  proparty  in  that  country.  1  had  no  mora  to  say 
to  M.  Langlada;  but  Drasantlv  saaing  annthar  Canadian,

tho  fort  ia  built. 

Every  half  hour,  tho  Indiana  gave  their  wa^whoope,  ono 
for  every  priaonor  in  their  canoe.  Thia  ia  a  general  cuatom, 
by  tho  aid  of  whiciv  all  other  Indians,  within  hearing,  art 
aporiaod  of  the  number  of  priaonora  they  are  carrying. 

In  thia  manner,  wo  rooched  Wamohento,  Pox«point,  a  long 
point,  Btrotching  wootward  into  the  uko,  and  which  tho  Ottawaa 
make  a  carrvin|  place,  to  avoid  going  round  it.  It  ia  diatant 
oightoon  milea  from  Miehilimaekinae.  After  tho  Indiana  had 
mi|da  thoir  war>whoop,  aa  before,  an  Ottawa  appeared  apon  iih» 
beach,  who  made  *igiM  that  we  ahould  land.  In  eontoquonco,

diagfad  all  tho  priaonora  out  of  tho  canooa,  amid  a  terriiyfaiff

but  a  few  houra  produced  an  event  which  gave  atiir  a  new 
eolor  to  my  lot. 

Toward  noon,  when  the  great  war-chief,  in  company  with 
Wenniway  waa  toated  at  the  opposite  end  of  the  lo«lffe,  my 
(Viend  and  brother,  Wawatam,  luddenly  came  in.  Durinv 
the  four  daya  preceding,  I  had  often  wondered  what  had 
boeome  «f  him.  In  pauing  by  he  gave  me  hie  hand,  but 
want  immediately  toward  the  great  chief,  by  the  tide  of  whom 
•nd  Wenniwav,  he  aat  bimaelf  down.  The  moat  uninterrupted 
ailenca  prtvailed  i  each  amoked  hia  pipe ;  and  thia  done, 
Wawatam  aroae,  and  left  the  lodge,  aaying  to  me,  ai  he  paaeed, 
<•  Take  courage  i" 

An  hour  elapaed,  during  which  aoveral  chiefa  entered,  and 
preparationa  appanrod  to  be  makinc  for  a  council.  At  length, 
Wawatam  rfonlartd  tbe  lodm,  followed  by  hit  wife,  and  both 
loaded  with  merehnndiae,  which  thrv  carried  up  to  the  chiefa, 
•nd  laid  in  •  heap  before  them.  Some  momenta  ot  ailene* 
feUowad,  at  Iha  and  of  which  Wawatam  pronounced  a  tpeech, 
•▼•ry  word  of  which,  to  me,  waa  of  extraordinary  intereat :

wh«n  they  were  et  thie  work,  the  deponent  went  out  of  the 
houM,  and  hollowed  to  the  Mople  in  tne  block'houie  ;  one  of 
the  Indiene  then  mn  up  tnn  etopned  her  mouth,  enothcr  ren

tomahawk  and  called  her  hie  aqtiaw  s  ihie  laet  Indian  claimed 
her  as  hie,  and  continued  by  her.  About  fifteen  of  the  Indiane 
than  ran  down  towarda  the  block-houee,  and  fired  their  gune 
at  the  btor*'  and  itore  houae,  in  consequence  of  which  one  loU 
dior  war  Mi,  and  another  wounded,  one  having  been  at  the 
■prisf,  and  the  other  in  coming  or  hwking  out  of  the  etore* 
house.  Thie  denonent  then  told  the  Indiane  there  were  about 
fertv  men  in  the  Uock*houM,  and  each  man  had  two  gune}  the 
ladlaaa  then  went  to  them  that  ware  firing  at  the  bloek*house, 
and  btottght  them  back.  They  then  began  to  drive  the  dope* 
neat  and  nar  children  away ;  but  a  boy  about  three  jeaia  old. 
being  unwilling  to  leava  the  houaa,  they  took  by  the  beeli,  and 
d*8hi4l  it  agalnel  the  houae,  then  stabbed  and  scalped  it. 
They  then  took  the  deponent  and  the  two  other  children  to  the 
toj^  «  Iho  hill,  wharo  they  stopped  until  they  tied  up  the  plun*

knew  to  be  Bonecas,  and  two  Mucaeee,  who  had  get  their  gune 
mended  by  her  husband  about  two  years  ago.  That  they  sent 
two  Indians  with  her,  and  the  others  took  tneir  course  towarda 
Paekty.  That  the,  the  ehiUren,  and  the  two  Indiane  bed  not 
gone  above  two  hundred  yards,  when  the  Indians  caught  two 
9i  her  uncle's  horses,  put  her  and  the  youngest  child  on  one, 
and  one  of  the  Indiana,  and  the  other  ehud  on*the  other.  That 
tha  two  IndiaiM  then  took  her  and  the  children  to  the  Allegha*

to  have  been  oecupied  some  time,  it  was  very  much  neaten,  and 
large  beaten  paths  went  out  in  diflerent  directions  from  it ;  that
